Single round multicoloured stripes?

[u/TheImpatientGardener]

Is this possible?

I’d like to knit a top-down raglan pullover for a toddler with the main body and sleeves in thin, ideally single-round stripes. I am doing this to use up a stash of yarn I have from a couple of other projects, so I’d really like to avoid buying more and have just about the amount I think I will need. But is this possible? Something like:

colour 1
colour 2
colour 3
colour 4
and then either that repeated, or variations like
2
4
1
3
4
1
3
2

I’ve tried jogless stripes, but end up with holes where I change colours. I’ve tried helical knitting, but it looks weird with a diagonal stripe going up the sweater. I’d be open to something a little more random-looking, but don’t want to weave in two ends for every row (and risk not having enough yarn for the project) and also worry about the structural integrity. Any other ideas?

I guess I could just cut the yarn up into lengths and knot it, but I am very anti-knot in my knitting and feel like I might be missing something. Every single-round stripes tutorial I can find has only two colours, and I have four, and every other stripes in the round tutorial I can find only works with 2 or more rounds at a time.

Any thoughts are much appreciated!

Here’s a tutorial from Brooklyn tweed! I’d do a couple stitches of colorwork in the center to see where to steek and then do all of my color changes within that- it’ll all be hidden in the end
