You will need to change the width size in the css file.
/**
* 6.0 Content
* —————————————————————————–
*/
.content-area {
padding-top: 48px;
}
.hentry {
margin: 0 auto 48px;
max-width: 672px;
}
.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta,
.page-content {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 474px;
}
Hope that helps.
Cheers,

Make sure you are NOT modifying theme files – as the changes will be lost when WP is updated. Instead ADD that code to custom CSS and change it there.

Install this Custom CSS Manager plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin
Then in the “CSS Code” section of the dashboard to hold your CSS modifications.
it can be managed by identifying the css class and use preferred width size on your child theme. i think arask already identified it for you. if you are using jetpack you can use the custom css feature of the plugin to input the css snippet.

Change the “672” bit from here:
.hentry {
margin: 0 auto 48px;
max-width: 672px;
}
And change the “474” bit from here:
.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta,
.page-content {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 474px;
}

I am a complete noob with CSS and computers in general. Would anyone be willing to change the code for me? I could PM or email my password to anyone willing to help me.
I want it to look something like this, width-wise: http://twentyfourteendemo.wordpress.com/
