Star patterns are the most effective way to teach nested loops, variable scope, and mathematical boundary conditions with immediate visual feedback.
Deriving mathematical relationships between variables. You learn how to make the inner loop's boundaries dynamically depend on the outer loop's current state.
You likely forgot to add a newline command (like System.out.println() in Java or print() in Python) at the end of your outer loop, after the inner loop finishes.
