Blocking makes a world of difference. I just soaked and pinned it out, and it’s easily twice as big as before. It’s over 7’ long and 18” at the widest point. Not sure how that’ll work when I wear it, though, as the shorter side is too skewed to really show off when wrapped around my neck. Even so, I can’t wait for it to dry so I can see the neck-wrapped results!

I tried out several versions of seed stitch instead of the 1x1 rib, as that shrunk the width too much. Unfortunately, the high variegation makes the stitches hard to distinguish. If I make another, I might just go with stockinette for those sections.
