They know... unless they can't see
The Robe of Useful Items states (my emphasis):
While wearing the robe, you can use an action to detach one of the patches, causing it to become the object or creature it represents.
This implies that there is a visual representation of the item on the patch - making it clear what the item is to anyone that can see it.
This is also supported by the picture in the DMG:

To me, though "represents" might not be (completely) visual. What if the party comes across a robe made by a blind wizard? Since that wizard isn't going to be able to see his patches, they're likely to be distinguishable by feel - perhaps the "riding horse" is just a circle made out of horse-hair.

@Clockwork-Muse has a good point. 'Represents' does not limit it to sight, it could be texture, shape, smell, or some other way to distinguish them. I do agree that the intent is for the wearer to know which they are using though.
