A self-citation in a double-blind review should just look like a normal citation of 3rd party work.

Unless you are saying specifically “in my previous work”.

I suppose it depends on the writing style.

Yes, it should look the same, and some journals go as far as redacting the references on the review copy entirely, so they all look exactly the same. That said, if an author is prestigious enough to be known, they need to do more than that to mask their identity. Writing styles and subject matter can give away an author’s identify even if blinded.
