Human Factors
I was climbing out from Runway XX during a 'Go Around' turning from left crosswind to a left downwind at 800 ft. I heard another aircraft reporting entering a left downwind to the same runway. Right after entering downwind I broadcast in the blind looking for a position of aircraft and he told me I had just passed below his belly at about 200 ft. away from his aircraft. I apologized and told him I never saw him until after his call and he was about 1/2 mile off my left wing.A safer practice would have been if I sidestepped to the right during the initial phase of the go around and climbed to 1;000 ft. AGL before turning left into the crosswind. This action would have put me farther away from the airport and would give me a greater view of the area I was turning into.
Pilot flying M20 aircraft reported a NMAC during initial climb.
