The cache is not at the above coordinates, you will need to solve the puzzle which will give you the coordinates for the cache's hiding place
You will need small quantities of wool in 2 contrasting colours plus about a metre of a third, bright colour. I used white double knitting wool (W) for the background, black for letters and numbers (B) and red for dots and degrees (R), with size UK 8 / 4mm knitting needles.
The finished article measures approximately 16cm x 9cm (36 stitches wide x 20 rows deep) and will give you the coordinates for where the magnetic container is hidden.
What? You thought I meant you actually had to do knitting? Well I did knit mine (see photo for back view) but maybe you can find a way of avoiding it yet still come up with the answer. Either way, just follow the pattern below.
