If you sync your iPhone with a Mac, you can resync to reestablish the playlist. I have done this myself.


If the playlist exists only on the iPhone, it cannot be recovered to my knowledge. Unless you can restore from an iPhone backup (e.g. in iCloud or from a backup stored on a Mac). But that is a severe step to take because it requires wiping the iPhone and restoring all content from the backup, which I don't recommend doing just to restore a playlist.
