Make larger motions with the end of the rope.

Explanation:

Amplitude is the size of the wave, or the vertical distance between its peak and it's trough. Therefore, by making larger motions, you increase the amplitude. The other property is frequency, which is the distance from one peak/trough to the next. To increase frequency, you would shale the rope faster.
