In this sweater the goal is to harmoniously use up as many loose ends of yarn as possible; therefore, the only sections for which a large amount of same-coloured yarn is required are the vertical stripes, ribbed portions and collar. The horizontal stripes, which make up the plaid, can be worked in very small quantities. For a semi-random feeling, try attaching many strands of various colours and textures end to end to create a large ball from which to work all horizontal stripes.
