Yes, you can. The method used will depend on what pattern you are working and how much you need to add.
If it is vertical stripes, it is quite easy to just add another stripe. If it is granny squares, just add more squares where you need the extra width. If it is horizontal stripes, just turn the whole thing round and made it vertical stripes, then add more stripes.
If your blanket is being worked horizontally in one piece, then you might create a second strip in the same pattern, then join the two strips. You can do this either when you have completed the first strip, or at the point you are now. If you do the latter, you would then continue the pattern, going into both sections. I have done this with a ripple afghan, but I was not far into it at the time. The assembly of the two strips must be done carefully if you don't want it to show.

How do you increase size of crochet pattern?
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.

Create Child and Pet Pictures with Single Crochet Stitches?
While crochet enthusiasts enjoy making clothing and home decor items from patterns, even a beginner can increase her level of creativity with crocheted pictures of loved ones, a child's favorite characters or beloved pets. Use crocheted pictures on child or adult tops, decorate a child's bedspread or favorite blanket, or frame the finished picture as a wall hanging. This beginner project uses the single crochet stitch throughout the entire picture. Single crochet is the first stitch that novices learn, and it presents an attractive finished piece. If you want to crochet a picture wall hanging, you might need to add more background rows to fit the size display frame you have chosen. After choosing a favorite photo, upload it to your computer. Put graph paper in the printer and re-size the photo to your preferred size. Use color ink when printing. To crochet the photo, start by counting the number of blocks at the widest and longest rows. Add a border of three or more rows depending on your desired finished size. Single crochet the width of one block on the graph paper. The number of stitches per block varies with the type of yarn and the way that you crochet. Some people make tight crochet stitches while others make loose stitches. Once you know how many stitches to make per block on the graph paper, you can begin this pleasurable and creative endeavor. An important point for beginners to remember is to make even stitches. If some areas are loosely crocheted but other sections are of a different gauge, then your finished work will look lopsided. Add one extra single crochet stitch as the end of each row for turning your work. To use more than one color in a row, carry strands of the other colors on top of the just completed row of crochet stitches. As you crochet, these extra colors will be blended into the work but not seen. When you need to change colors, start with the new color in the previous stitch at the final yarn-over.
