There are quite a few projects here using old sweaters.

You could felt the jumpers as they are, and see what size they end up (as a child, I acquired several "new" sweaters made of felt because my aunt had trouble getting the hang of her new washer-dryer).

If they are not right to pass on to somebody you know, you can then use them to cut panels from to make anything you like - purse, hats, toys etc.
