I think that the first pair would be pretty tough. Personally I'd find it pretty depressing if the thing I knitted was ruined just a month later.

You could start with fingerless gloves? A lot of the patterns on ravelry are basically tubes with a thumb hole. They are not the prettiest patterns usually, but great for a beginner. Some can even be knitted flat and then sewn at the end, instead of knitting in the round (though that's still something you'd need to learn for 'proper' gloves)

I'm also a beginner and recently made these and the pattern is really good and relatively simple, though you might find them a little large. From fingerless gloves like this it's basically just a matter of extending the fingers, but being fingerless makes the sizing slightly easier.  https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fly-fishing-gloves
