Welcome. The fact that they locked on their own since then proves that you never needed to crochet them in the first place. If you only did it once or twice you should be in fine shape
Welcome to the community. Crochet was a mistake in the first place. I hope that you just did it the one time and let them be. The roots never need to be done. They will grow into the dreads by themselves. All you have to do is separate when the dreads start to grow together. Just wash regularly and separate. That is all the maintenance they need.
Welcome/ But crocheting is actually worse than any products you can put in your hair, including wax. Wax can be scrubbed out over time. Crocheting only does damage that is permanent. Every time you stick the hook though your lock, it rips hairs to shreds. There is no way to do it without damaging your hair. Most of the damage is on the inside, so you can't see it, but it's there. And it weakens your locksconsiderably. In time, locks have been known o snap in places just from how over tight and ripped up the hairs are.
Welcome and Happy Dreading.

Hi Holly, do you do your final rinse with as cold water as your head can take. This help with the itch.

Baba is right. Throw away that hook if you still have it. Let your dreads recover, although it may take a few months.
