In knitting an afghan how do you increase afghan by half or double without losing pattern?

Try casting on twice as many stitches. Be sure to count the number of stitches it takes to make a full pattern and see that your total number of stitches is evenly divisible by that number of stitches per pattern. In fact, I sometimes do the math before I take the time to cast on all those stitches. (Didn't they tell us in elementary school that we really would need to know arithmetic? LOL!) And, of course, you will take into account any of the stitches which create a border.

An afghan can be made in one big piece, but in knitting it's easier to make squares and sew them together. These can be quite plain, or there are lots of free patterns on the internet.

Interweave knitting is also known as Afghan stitches or Tunisian Crochet. It is a way of crocheting using one hook and adapted knitting techniques.

Where can you find a tigger knitting or crochet pattern?
Okay, I was able to find a crochet pattern for Tigger, either as a stand alone .pdf for sale (Craftsy website attached), or in the Leisure Arts #3262 (or # ) book: "Disney Pooh & Friends." You can see if that might be available in your library, or look online to purchase the book. Finding a knit pattern was much harder. It appears that at one time, there was a knit kit, from Designer Stitches I did find a Tigger Illusion Afghan pattern for free (photo on Ravelry link, and pattern on Tigger Illusion link), which appears to be the only thing I could find as far as a knitting pattern

How many chains do you crochet to make a twin sized afghan single stitch with a 7 count peak?
That's a difficult question to answer without more information - like the pattern you are hoping to make. Since you note a 7 count peak I think you may be asking about a ripple afghan. If that is the case and you want 7 stitches on either side of your hill and valley, the foundation chain would be a multiple of 17 + 16. I would suggest possibly 152 for a twin size. Crochet Cabana has a pattern called Donovan's Ripple Afghan which may suit your purposes. If you are not talking about a ripple afghan as noted, then this would not be the appropriate number of chains.
