Double click the Scale tool.

You will see an option to scale the pattern or scale only the object (or both).

Hi,

 

To Expand it Select the Object and go Object> Expand or Expand Appearence.

 

To make a pattern, select any pattern and go Object> Pattern> Make.

Here are some tips on creating patterns that may help you also:
