This is an easy pattern using mostly sc and dc. It is worked in rounds from the bottom up, repeating a pattern 5 times around. It has a lining that you fold in on top of a plastic container if desired--I like to reuse items when possible--I used a cool whip container! The lid is worked from the i cord stem down.

Size--29.5 inches circumference, 10 inches wide, 4.5 inches high without the lid, 9 inches high with the lid.

Used 92 yds of bulky yarn for outside pumpkin, 82 yds of worsted weight for lining, and 4 yds of bulky for the stem. I added a small amount of fiberfill to plump out the bumps in the pumpkin.
