I am only coming up with 16 inches, not 21 - do I need to change my hook size? I am using Hometown USA and a K hook.

Some people crochet tighter or loser then others. You always should do a swatch to check your gauge. Increasing hook size will make your gauge bigger.

Did you check your gauge? Yes, switch to a bigger hook.
