Kiragirl, oops, make that “shawl.”   The U.S. flag has seven red and white stripes, each exactly the same width.   Look closely at the photo showing what Keith Haugen claims is a U.S. flag.   It resembles a U.S. flag, but the white stripes clearly are larger than the red stripes.  But even if the shawl was an actual U.S. flag, there would have been nothing illegal or improper about it.  The US Flag Code provides guidelines only to be followed voluntarily.  It is not enforceable.
