Well, here is what I could come up with. I added some error handling to make sure the user isn’t inputting anything invalid.

while True:
    try:
        n = int(input('How many?\n'))
    except ValueError:
        print('That is not a valid number')
    else:
        break

if n <= 1:
    print('*')
else:
    print('* *')
    for _ in range(n - 2):
        print('**')
    print('* *')
