We didn't kiss or anything, so as far as I know we're still just friends. But, I still have his sweater. I'm not sure what to do with it! :S We haven't hung out since then, so I haven't had a chance to return it. When should I give it back to him?? Should I wait for him to say something?

I would say something like: Hey Thanks so much for the sweater. Where can we meet up so I can give it back?
That puts the ball in his court and gives him a chance then to think about you. Good luck!

I'm surprised this answer hasn't come up yet.
It was definately one of my little moves in high school to give a girl I liked my sweater. If the girl liked me, it tended to let her think about me. It's possesive thing for a guy. It may be totally innocent what he did, but maybe it's not. Don't get flustered by it. When you give it back to him, compliment him on it. And also suggest that you thought you looked good in it too. Sounds like a great converation stater. Good luck!

Give him a call or a text (I HATE how much communication is done without actually speaking these days) and say nicely, "hey, I have your sweater! Let me know how or when I can get it back to you."
Pretty simple. Good luck.

 There's no protocol or rule number 45, section 352 regarding this "issue".
Generally, it's polite to give someone back their property after you're done using it. Seeing as you're not his girlfriend, I would go home follow the care tag instructions and give it back to him the next time you see him. Chances are he forgot that he lent it to you, so that's why he hasn't said anything. It's not yours to keep.
Now if you were his girlfriend, then I'd say yeah it's normal to make off with a guys clothes. But all that stuff goes back to them whenever there's a break-up.
