This is a fast bind-off which I really like.
It’s a good stretchy bind-off for beginners. To be more exact -- it is very stretchy for binding off on Stockinette stitch, and moderately stretchy on ribbing.
It also looks decorative, which is unique and unusual for the standard bind-offs.

More Information
Keep in mind that this bind-off will roll on Stockinette stitch. Just plan on that being a feature of the bind-off — maybe knit a couple extra rows before binding off to make up for the roll.
This bind-off would be nice on something like fingerless mitts, where the moderate stretch and decorative rolled look would work well.
