Playground Shirt KAL

Playground Shirt was originally designed about 4 years ago for a little boy called Nathaniel.  Elena had given his sister a dress she had made and he was sad as there was no gift for him.  Elena was so touched by Nathaniel that she designed and knitted a new top for him.

Since then over 6000 people have downloaded Playground Shirt to make for their own little ones.  Playground Shirt is the perfect blank canvas for adding your own personalisation - a look through the projects on Ravelry and you will soon see how creative it is possible to be with Playground Shirt as the basic pattern.

The three projects featured here were all created by Ravelers during our KAL this month.  We love the uniqueness of each one and hope you will be inspired to create a Playground Shirt for someone too!
