I just finished a 3ft x 3ft granny square baby blanket all in a soft yellow yarn. Now that I look at it, it looks a little plain. Can I put silk lining on one side of the blanket?|||Minky would be better.

You can find this at many fabric shops|||Yea. I sewed lining on a croched hat. That would be easier.|||You could, but silk is not practical for babies. It generally doesn't wash well.
Assuming you have a synthetic, washable yarn, I'd pick a soft cotton - maybe even a flannel - and wash and machine-dry it to pre-shrink it before using as a lining on the other side. You may also want to tack the lining at intervals rather than just sewing it on at the edges, so it doesn't shift around.
