The easiest way would be to make several patterns like this and then sew them all together. But for the pattern #3994 you could easily just add more string. If you look closer at the pattern you can divide it into 4 chevrons consisting of "green, blue, blue, yellow, yellow, blue, blue, green". So to make it into 5 chevrons you just add 8 more strings(16 for 6 chevrons, 24 for 7 and so on). You lay them up like I described next to the existing pattern and instead of "leaving the string out" at the end you tie a forward or backward knot. Blue should be knotted over blue, green over green so it doesn't matter which way you knot it really.
