One could simply say use a darker stain.

Another trick is to not sand to too high of a grit. Sanded to 150 will
stain much darker than sanded to 320. You can always add a top coat and
sand that flat later.

Finally, Pine will usually yellow somewhat over time from exposure to
sun, this can make thing slook significantly darker. A day or two in
the sun will speed that along. However, some pine whites out too so you
have to be careful with the sun and test it first.
