Random networks are widely used to model complex networks and research their properties. In order to get a good approximation of complex networks encountered in various disciplines of science, the ability to tune various statistical properties of random networks is very important. In this Brief Report we present an algorithm which is able to construct arbitrarily degree-degree correlated networks with adjustable degree-dependent clustering. We verify the algorithm by using empirical networks as input and describe additionally a simple way to fix a degree-dependent clustering function if degree-degree correlations are given.
