One of my dreads right in the middle of my forehead was too big - the section was almost an inch and a half and I was worried that in time it will grow fatter and then I'd have a big horn to deal with.
It took me three hours to undo it because it'd been so tightly crocheted. I couldn't have been more careful and yet I lost a lot of hair. And the hair I lost was in little pieces because it'd been broken by the crochet hook.
Well, actually you are probably right. With time, crocheted dreads shrink a lot! So probably you would have ended with one heavy dread.
I also had crocheted dreads. I got them done 2 years ago and combed them out after 6 months and a half and I just crocheted once. Now I am starting freeform dreads and also kinda aware of job seeking, but anyways, my hair is gonna take loooong time to dread, so probably it won't be "an issue" once I got into a place. :P
I have still my timeline on my page, if you are curious to see how they ended.
