Scaling up a pattern?

[rusty76]

Scavenger Hunt Block - This is a crochet pattern for a gorgeous basketweave style 'sample size' block (9x7 inches)

I'm willing although not really familiar with adapting patterns, and I'd love to scale this up to baby blanket size, or even couch throw size. Any suggestions on increasing the given proportions? Will increasing each stitch count by 4 yield a 36" blanket? Or...what?

Thank you so much - this is exactly what I was hoping for! I want to make the same look, only bigger, so your option two should work.
