Using any color sequence you desire gives you freedom to go wild! I chose 6 colors and repeated 3 of them to be able to stay in the theme of my Beatles’ song “Number 9, Number 9, Number 9”!
(Tail end of the White album…if you know this, you know this!)

There is plenty of yarn left on these skeins to make 2 wraps for sure. So if you decided to make this using 3 colors, I believe you would be fine as well.

The freedom also lies in the fact that you can do as many stripes as you wish…and great for social knitting.

The faux I-cord at each end gives it strength as well as the cast on and the bind off.

Enjoy! And listen to the album while you knit. Let it Be! (not on the White album, but do a Beatles’ binge while you are at it).
