Hello You Guys!
Is there someone out there who wouldn't mind explaining to me the best way to repeat the texture of this terry cloth towel? I want to REMOVE the two ridges at the bottom of this towel, and I want the towel to appear like the main texture just seamlessly continues from one end to the other. HUGE THANKS to whomever wouldn't mind sharing their knowledge, techniques, or suggestions. THANKS AGAIN!!!

For this, I'd select a large portion of the towel above the area you what to change.
Layer > New > Layer Via Copy.
Move the selection down to cover the area, then use a layer mask to blend the edges. Afterward, use curves or levels to adjust the tone for a better match.

I suppose you are using Photoshop, so I moved this from Adobe Creative Cloud to Photoshop.
As a general indication:
To create a seamless pattern, you need to eliminate the seams. You do so by shifting the picture 50% horizontally and vertically. So the borders now fit but you will have a cross in the middle where the former borders come together. You edit those in such a way that the seam disappears and you're done.
1. Cropping:
2. Shifting (Filter->Other->Offset):
The problem with your picture is the uneven lighting. That will require either careful selection of the square or you need to retake the picture to get the correct even lightning. After editing, you need to recheck the borders again...by shifting again. You do not need to shift both directions in one rush or to really shift 50 %.
Something that came to mind was some of the Aaron Blaise brush presets. He makes some of the very best brush sets out there, They are not free, but at about $5 a set they are not far off free.

I didn't spend much time trying to get closer to the towel texture, but I think you could.
Another idea would be to use Alien Skin Eye Candy 7, which has an animal fur effect
It is intended more for this sort of thing, but you have lots of control
Eye Candy 7 is about $100 when there is a sale on, and is my second favourite plugin

I suspect the texture will be incorporated into other objects of different colors, and perhaps of different sizes. If that is the objective, then perhaps this image should be reshot with more even lighting but maintaining texture and a less waffled surface so that the variation in tone on various colors does not become a distraction and can be made more prominent, when desired.
The image above was created with the Blend If command with a Black Underlying layer. Then a suitable sample could be taken and by duping and assembling (Edit > Transform > and Horizontal and Vertical Flips so edges butt) and compositing them into a single layer a larger area could be created. It should be done in this darker value so that the prominence of the texture can be controlled with the Layer's Opacity slider and its Blending Mode set to Multiply.
