Addicted to Knitting

I see a pattern developing here… no pun intended! I am in love with cables and bags. Put the two together and it’s a wonderful thing. I have a question about one of these bags. The pattern is Mini Messenger bag by Lori Law from 101 designer one-skein wonders. I have gauge and everything was fine till I started the flap. To me it’s obvious the flap is to narrow before felting. Would you pick up stitches on the edge and do a garter stitch border? that is what I am thinking about. It’s a graduation gift so I need to make a decision soon. I don’t want to rip it out! I hate it when these things happen. I followed the pattern so carefully.

This one is Lambe from Berroco.com
