One really easy way to do it is to use heavier yarn & bigger needles than what is called for in the pattern. For example: a ladies size small sweater knitted with DK or sportweight yarn with size 5-7 needles would be larger, size-wise, if knitted with worsted weight or bulky yarn on size 8-10 needles.
You can use the same yarn & just knit with bigger needles, but this will result in a more loosely woven fabric & change the look of the piece significantly.
If planning on making a pattern several sizes bigger, however, I would add stitches. This is easy to do in a patern where there is a significant amount of stockinette stitch used. However, it does tend to get a little more difficult if using pattern stitches. Remember to swatch, so you know your gauge, and if increasing a pattern repeat to make larger, be sure to cast on enough stitches.

M means 'marker'. This is normally a small circle of plastic or metal or contrast yarn (I use paper clips or safety pins) hooked on the needle between specific stitches.

PM means 'pass marker' by moving the marker from one needle to the other when you get to it after knitting the stitches before it.
