I was recently gifted some lovely soft chenille style chunky yarn and immediately set about finding the perfect project for it. The loop stitch works perfectly for this type of yarn. It's super soft and squidgy making it ideal for a statement cushion, this method would work great for a rug too. The loop stitch gives a really nice textured effect that works up quickly in a chunky yarn. It's worked using alternating single crochet rows which creates a neat smooth side. The loops can be made shorter or longer and can also be trimmed when finished to give a fun 'long pile' look. Read on to find out how I made my loopy square and circle cushions To make a simple square cushion I used 2x100g of the James C Brett Flutterby  Chunky yarn in cream with a 7mm hook, you can substitute this for any yarn you like, just adjust the hook size and chain length as necessary I made a small 12x12 inch square cushion but any size square or rectangular cushion pad would work perfectly
