It depends. Can you see where and how you added the stitch? If so you could frog back to you mistake and fix it. If you just leave it, at some point when you start doing decreases, you will always have that darn extra stitch to worry about. Good luck

I have no idea where it came from :(is it possible to K2TOG when I start the legs?

Yes, you can dec when you go on to the next part.
