There are lots of knitting instructions online. Try google: knitting instructions gloves
Gloves (the kind with individual fingers) are quite 'fussy' things to knit as you must knit each finger and the thumb separately on four needles or use two needles and then sew each finger closed.
It can be difficult to get just the right length for each finger to make the gloves comfortable. Before you start knitting, have your friend trace his open hand on paper so that you can easily measure the length for each finger.
If you are not an experienced knitter, it's much easier to knit a scarf!

hey CA Swimmer, i think i'll need your help at some point, i'll message you when i get myself started practicing knitting......i am actually thinking of knitting scarf first cos it seems its the easiest...then possibly hats whatsoever, i guess learning does take step by step....then will be gloves.......hopefully by then i'll be smart enough to get the gloves done...............haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
