The crochet abbreviation sk stands for "skip" or "skipping a stitch." Typically, in crochet, you work your next stitch into the next available space.

How do I increase my amigurumi pattern?

Method 1.
To make a larger amigurumi, use a heavier (thicker) yarn than that recommended in the pattern; to make a smaller amigurumi, use a lighter (thinner yarn). You'll also need to change your hook size accordingly (see Choosing a Hook Size, below).
