I don't remember where I found the instructions, but it has to have been online. Knitting Help usually has videos, though, and so does YouTube; the two together have taught me more about knitting than I ever learned in a class!
Double pointed needles required (preferably the very short ones if you can get them; my LYS has 5" DPs).
Cast on 3 (or 5) stitches. Knit 2 (or 4). Knit the last stitch and a stitch from the edge of the blanket together.
Now here's the i-cord part: all the stitches are on the right needle. Slide them to the other end of the DP and pick it up in your left hand and repeat. Do not knit back, do not move to the other needle. Knit, always ending by knitting the last cord stitch and the edge stitch together, then slide the stitches to the other side of the needle and lather, rinse, repeat.
