''Wrap with Love'' is an Australian charitable organisation, founded in 1992 by Sonia Gidley-King, OAM, to produce knitted wraps (used as blankets) as gifts for people who have exposed to the cold and susceptible to hypothermia and especially those who have experienced loss and trauma as a result of war.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.krb.nsw.edu.au/1957/beyond-class/wrap-with-love )〕 The wraps are knitted, transported and assembled by volunteers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.artsandcraftsnsw.com.au/Wrap.htm )〕 Over 30,000 volunteers around Australia have been involved in the project and more than a quarter of a million woollen wraps have been produced.〔 The wraps are created by knitting 28 equally sized squares in garter stitch, sewn together into blankets of 4 x 7 squares.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.artsandcraftsnsw.com.au/WrapPattern.htm )〕 Although simple, this formula allows for an almost unlimited variety and the resulting wrap is a unique possession for its final owner. Some wraps incorporate a single stylised kangaroo as a symbol of their origin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.artsandcraftsnsw.com.au/WrapGallery.htm )〕 ==Knit-in==
In 2003, ABC Sydney Radio Station 702 ABC Sydney and ABC Local Radio created the "knit in", so named after the "sit-in" form of direct action protest, to support the movement and increase awareness of the ''Wrap with Love'' cause.〔 Presenter Angela Catterns is credited with the "Knit-In" idea. Other knitting events have been held at a variety of community halls and local libraries across the country.
