This is a great pattern for using up scraps. The pattern suggests putting each scrap of yarn in separate Ziploc plastic bags to minimize tangles.

If you want to take on a challenge, making the sweater for an adult shouldn’t take too much figuring. Maybe the blocks could be made bigger so you don’t have so many plastic bags.
