sorry... that I don't know....

to make it bigger you should add more stitches when making the rounds... that's the only way I know...

I think you'll have to unravel it up to the point that it fits and then you'll have to increase the amount of stitches for each round.
Do you have a link to the pattern - it might be easier to help you if I can see what the pattern says.
