Hi
Here something I adapted from an example in  help on Count for your problem


Clear[ww,pat]
ww = {1,2,1,2,1,2}
pat = {1, 2}
If[Count[NestList[Rest, ww,
    Length[ww]], Append[pat, ___]] == Length[ww]/Length[pat], Print[
        "True"], Print["False"]]
 >>True

Clear[ww,pat]
ww = {1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3}
pat = {1, 2, 3}
If[Count[NestList[Rest, ww, Length[ww]], Append[
  pat, ___]] == Length[ww]/Length[pat], Print["True"], Print["False"]]
 >>True




Clear[ww,pat]
ww = {1, 2, 1, 2, 3}
pat = {1, 2}
If[Count[NestList[Rest, ww,
    Length[ww]], Append[pat, ___]] == Length[ww]/Length[pat], Print[
        "True"], Print["False"]]
 >>False


Hope this helps
