This is a pattern overview, not a full tutorial. Wobbly Clown is a crochet puppet pattern by Susan’s family, published on Ravelry and listed there as available for free. The source page is a pattern listing rather than a written lesson, so it gives project facts, yarn and supply notes, and links to the designer’s own guidance instead of row-by-row instructions. Use the Original designer’s pattern and instructions to reach the pattern page, the online pattern view, and the video guidance the designer provides.

The listing carries repeated copyright notices crediting Susan’s family, which is a good reminder that the design and its photos belong to the designer. Ravelry shows 2 projects and 12 queues for this pattern, so it is a small, newer entry rather than a heavily worked one. If you enjoy clown-themed amigurumi and puppets, this one is worth a look before you choose your yarn.

Susan’s family describes Wobbly Clown as a 3-dimensional puppet project with captioned video, chart, and video tutorial attributes. The pattern page states that it is available for free, and the free web version can be viewed online at https://en.susudiy.com/detail?id=1838029618574004226. Check the original page for any changes to access or format.

Two designs are included in total, and they vary by hair style and color scheme, so you can pick the version that suits your yarn. The source notes that the limbs are connected to the body with 9 word needles, so they wobble as the puppet walks. The source does not give finished size, gauge, or stitch counts, so plan to follow the designer’s own guidance for those details.

Crocheting guidance is split into two parts, with Part 1 at https://youtu.be/i3H_pHUtCmk and Part 2 at https://youtu.be/Jk0zmC2c00U.
