That's because double clutching an upshift doesn't work, can't work and won't work.
The first couple of shifts from 1 to 2 with a very cold manual transmission on this car will be baulky. Use a firm motion out of first and then into second, and don't worry, it won't hurt the gearbox as long as the clutch is fully depressed.
Cold temperatures can make shifting more difficult depending on synchronizer design, lubricant specification and mileage on the gearbox. Persevere and all will come good.
