Simple follow-the-chart legwarmers for fans of skeletal anatomy and/or calaveras and other Dias de los Muertos imagery, featuring anatomically-faithful lower leg bones (tibia and fibula) on the front and a stack of cheerful skulls surrounded by wavering lines of marigolds up the back.

Pattern includes colourwork charts for three different lengths (short, medium and long) and tips for adjusting girth. Requires two colours of bulky yarn (or worsted weight yarn held double).
