You can use a bigger hook, or use a thicker thread or yarn.
If you know, or can figure out, the multiple of the pattern, you can increase the foundation chain and make it larger in that manner too.
If the pattern is completed using squares, you can increase the size of each square or use a joining method that adds width and length to the project.
You could also increase the size by adding a multiple round edging around your finished piece.

How to understand crochet patterns?
look at the pattern...... it usually says how much..... i.e.: 5 skeins of yarn As noted above, the pattern generally states how much yarn to use for that pattern. If you are trying to design your own pattern, however, then the process is more complicated. There is no general rule for how much yarn in a pattern, even as to type of pattern, because each is so different. Different scarf patterns, for example, would take different amounts of yarn. Generally speaking, I can probably make a scarf if I have 7 to 10 ounces of yarn. If I am making a hat for a child, I can do it with one 3.5 ounce skein with yarn leftover. For an adult, it depends on the pattern. Sometimes one skein would be enough, sometimes two would be needed. Afghans require more yarn, but amount varies with yarn, hook, and the size of the afghan as well as the pattern. One can take a baby afghan pattern and use chunky yarn to give a larger afghan, but amount of yarn required will be different. If you have a pattern and it gives you the yarn amount in skeins but not ounces, and you want to use a different yarn, then you need to find out how many ounces in that type of yarn, then buy the required ounces in a yarn in the same weight category.

How do you size a crochet pattern?
You size a pattern by crocheting a sample square using the recommended hook and yarn. The pattern will provide the dimensions for you. Compare the squares, if sample is larger or smaller than the pattern specifies, you can adjust hook size, yarn or tension to more closely match. It is always a good idea to do a sample square before starting a pattern. This way you can control the size of the final product and ensure there is enough yarn to finish the project. The Crochet Guild and the Craft Yarn Council both host crochet tutorials and helpful resources on their websites. The links are below.
