I have a full-time job and have taxes taken out, but I've also taken on part-time freelancing. How do I pay tax for this income? Can I just up what my employer takes out?

Hello! Full-time job, taxes are taken out as normal. Instead of figuring out how to pay estimated taxes on the extra, untaxed freelance work, can I just increase the amount taken out by my full-time employer to cover the difference? I just started freelancing and am not sure how many hours this side work will amount to, so I have no idea how/what to pay for estimated taxes. It won't be enough extra income to bump me to the next tax bracket; might be $9k, might be as little as $2k or $3k. Thanks for any help! I've been staring at these Schedule C and 2040-ES forms and am just totally lost.
