I've been a fan of After the Rain for almost a year now (I know it's not that long, but still) and I've loved a lot of their songs either it's new nor old. Wasurarenbo is a song they uploaded a pretty long time ago on December 2016. Check out here to listen to the original upload of the song.
Beside uploading it online, they also included the song in their single "Kaidoku Funou" as the fourth track. The song itself is actually pretty sad, talking about someone who is ostracized from society and often forgotten (this is my own interpretation, it might be very wrong lol). But the illustrated MV drawn by Ryuusee, Soraru and Mafumafu are pictured as a very cute creature that I can't help but wanted to make an amigurumi out of them. So I did. And I also wrote the pattern so everyone could make them as well. This time I'll write Mafumafu's persona pattern first. I'm going to write Soraru's persona soon.
Please
note that this is my first time ever writing an amigurumi pattern so it might
still be rough around the edges and the photos aren't in very good quality
either. So please bear with me. よろしくおねがいします

Assembly
- Cut out two pieces of oval yellow felt as the eyes and glue it on the head. Also embroider the mouth with white embroidery yarn. Please be sure not to make the face upside down. The part of the hood with the double crochets is the top part and the one with the slip stitches is the bottom part.
- Sew the ears on top of the hood. The back of the ears should be placed at between the 9th and 10th round of the hood while the front of the ears should be placed at between the 17th and 18th round of the hood. They should have around 6 stitches between each other.
- Sew two yellow buttons on near the ears. If you don’t have yellow buttons, cut out two pieces of round yellow felt. Sew criss-crossly with yellow yarn.
- Sew the body, the belly, and the legs in place. The legs should be placed at between the 1st and 2nd round of the body.
- Sew the hands in place. If you want to make it movable, instead of sewing it at only one side of the body, impale the body from one side until it come through the other side and repeat the process. Make sure your yarn is at the middle of the hand before doing this. Please refer to this for example.
- Cut out 12 little triangles from white felt as the nails. Glue the nail at the hands and feet, 3 nails at each.
- Wrap the cape around the neck and sew it to the bottom of the head. Make sure to join the end of the cape together.
- Make the ribbon with making some chain with vermilion red yarn, cut out some white felt and draw Mafuteru face on top of it, then glue the chain (already ribbon shaped) and the Mafuteru securely in place.
- Join each part of the tail. Cut out some wire (optional) and attach it to the back of the body where the tail should be. Hide the wire inside the tail and sew the tail in place.
