     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0012]    Implementations of pocket accessories of the present disclosure include pre-formed material having first and second sides where the sides either have (1) different shapes and different patterns/colors (see, e.g.,  FIGS. 1A-1D  and  FIGS. 3A-3E ); (2) different shapes and the same pattern/color (see, e.g.,  FIG. 2 ); or (3) the same shape and different patterns/color (see, e.g., FIG.  FIG. 4 ). In this way, the pocket accessories can be worn in a plurality of configurations to achieve different looks. Furthermore, in some implementations, pocket accessories of the present disclosure further include a magnet to secure or position the pocket accessory within a pocket when used in conjunction with a separate magnet. 
         [0013]      FIG. 1A  illustrates an implementation of a multi-configuration pocket accessory  100  according to the present disclosure. The pocket accessory  100  comprises a first side  110  having a first pre-formed shape and first pattern and/or color and a second side  120  having a second pre-formed shape and second pattern and/or color. In some implementation, a pre-formed shape may be maintained with stitches. In some implementation, a pre-formed shape may include one or more creases or folds maintained by stitching. 
         [0014]      FIG. 1B  illustrates a first method of wearing the pocket accessory  100 . In this first method, the second side  120  of the pocket accessory is inserted into a pocket to at least a depth to conceal the shape and pattern and/or color of the second side  120  while a portion of the first side  110  extends outside the pocket thereby revealing a portion of the first shape and first pattern and/or color of the first side  110 . 
         [0015]      FIG. 1C  illustrates a second method of wearing the pocket accessory  100 . In this second method, the first side  110  of the pocket accessory is inserted into a pocket to at least a depth to conceal the shape and pattern and/or color of the first side  110  while a portion of the second side  120  extends outside the pocket thereby revealing a portion of the second shape and second pattern and/or color of the second side  120 . 
         [0016]    In some implementations, the pocket accessory  100  further may include a magnet  130 . In some implementations, the magnet  130  may be loosely secured within a bounded interior area  140  of the pocket accessory  100 . In some implementations, the interior area may be bounded by stitching. In some implementations, the interior bounded area  140  may be configured such that the magnet may be moved horizontally and/or vertically. In some implementations, the magnet  130  may be used with a separate magnet  150  (see  FIG. 1D ) to position and secure the pocket accessory  100  within a pocket as discussed above. In this way the magnet  130  may be moved within the bounded area  140  to position and secure the pocket accessory within a pocket. 
         [0017]    In some implementations, the magnet  150  may be enclosed with a material. In some implementations, the material may be the same material as a portion of the pocket accessory  100 . In some implementations, the material may have the same pattern/color as the first side  110  or the second side  120  of the pocket accessory  100 . In some implementations, the material may have a different pattern/color as the first side  110  or the second side  120  of the pocket accessory  100 . 
         [0018]    In some implementations, the magnet  130  may be fixedly secured within the pocket accessory. In some implementations, the magnet  130  may be secured to an outer surface of the pocket accessory. 
         [0019]      FIG. 2  illustrates another implementation of a multi-configuration pocket accessory  200  according to the present disclosure. The pocket accessory  200  is similar to pocket accessory  100  except that the second side  220  of pocket accessory  200  has the same pattern and/or color as the first side  210  of pocket accessory  200 . The pocket accessory  200  can be worn in the same methods as pocket accessory  100 . 
         [0020]      FIG. 3A  illustrates another implementation of a multi-configuration pocket accessory  300  according to the present disclosure. The pocket accessory  300  comprises a first side  310  having a first pre-formed shape and first pattern and/or color and a second side  320  having a second pre-formed shape and second pattern and/or color. In some implementations, pocket accessory  300  is longer than pocket accessory  100 . In some implementations, pocket accessory  300  is of sufficient length such that it can be folded so that the first side and second side are layered, as discussed below. 
         [0021]      FIG. 3B  illustrates a first method of wearing the pocket accessory  300 . In this first method, the second side  320  of the pocket accessory  300  is inserted (or folded and then inserted) into a pocket to at least a depth to conceal the shape and pattern and/or color of the second side  320  while a portion of the first side  310  extends outside the pocket thereby revealing a portion of the first shape and first pattern and/or color of the first side  310 . 
         [0022]      FIG. 3C  illustrates a second method of wearing the pocket accessory  300 . In this second method, the second side  320  of the pocket accessory  300  is folded such that a portion of the second side is layered behind the first side  310  in a position where it can viewed when pocket accessory  300  is placed in a pocket. The folded end of the pocket accessory  300  then is inserted into a pocket to a depth where a portion of the first side  310  and second side  320  extends outside the pocket thereby revealing a portion of the first shape and first pattern and/or color of the first side  310  on top of second shape and second pattern and/or color of the second side  320 . In some implementations, the first shape is configured such that portions of the second side  320  can be seen when the first side and second side are overlaid. 
         [0023]      FIG. 3D  illustrates a third method of wearing the pocket accessory  300 . In this third method, the second side  320  of the pocket accessory  300  is folded such that a portion of the second side is layered in front of the first side  310 . The folded end of the pocket accessory  300  then is inserted into a pocket to a depth where a portion of the first side  310  and second side  320  extends outside the pocket thereby revealing a portion of the first shape and first pattern and/or color of the first side  310  behind the second shape and second pattern and/or color of the second side  320 . 
         [0024]      FIG. 3E  illustrates a fourth method of wearing the pocket accessory  300 . In this fourth method, the first side  310  of the pocket accessory is inserted (or folded and then inserted) into a pocket to at least a depth to conceal the shape and pattern and/or color of the first side  310  while a portion of the second side  20  extends outside the pocket thereby revealing a portion of the second shape and second pattern and/or color of the second side  320 . 
         [0025]    Similarly to the pocket accessory  100 , in some implementations, the pocket accessory  300  further may include a magnet  330  loosely secured within a bounded interior area  340  of the pocket accessory to position and secure the pocket accessory within a pocket. In some implementations, the bound interior area  340  may be larger than the bound interior area  140 . 
         [0026]      FIG. 4  illustrates another implementation of a multi-configuration pocket accessory  400  according to the present disclosure. The pocket accessory  400  is similar to pocket accessory  300  except that the second side  420  of pocket accessory  400  has the same shape as the first side  410  of pocket accessory  400 . The pocket accessory  400  can be worn in the same method as the pocket accessory  300 . Because the first side  410  and second side  42 - of the pocket accessory  400  have the same shape, when the pocket accessory  400  is folded to layer the first side  410  and second side  420 , the side that is in the back should be higher than the side that is in the front in order to be viewed when place in a pocket. 
         [0027]    The shapes, patterns, and color combinations of implementations of the present disclosure can be any shapes, patterns, and/or color combination. The magnets  130 ,  150  can be any suitable shape or size. The strength of the magnets can be any suitable strength. 
         [0028]    The pocket accessories of the present disclosure can be any article of manufacture. The pocket accessories can be manufactured from any material such as wool, silk, cotton, nylon, polyester, acrylic, or any other suitable material.
