I didn’t felt this (as per pattern instructions) because I knitted it in cotton for an allergic-to-wool husband, and adjusted the measurements to fit the husband’s notebook by number of stitches and rows.
I also knitted the closing ‘band’ wider, with a garter stitch border to stop it curling, used a button as a fastner, and added a ‘knitted with love’ heart charm (from Athenacrafts ebay shop) to the flap.
