Error Creating Folder in Sharepoint using Graph API

I am attempting to create a child folder in Sharepoint and I am receiving errors. I can successfully create two levels of folders, but upon creating the third level, I receive the error below:

"The request URI is not valid. The bound function binding to 'microsoft.graph.driveItem' does not support the escape function annotation."

I am using Postman and taking the steps here to create folders:

1) Top Level: (Successful) - Folder1 Created

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<SITE_ID>/drive/root/children

{
  "name": "Folder1",
  "folder": { },
  "@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior": "replace"
}

2) First Child (Successful - Folder2 Created within Folder1)

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<SITE_ID>/drive/root:/Folder1:/children

{
  "name": "Folder2",
  "folder": { },
  "@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior": "replace"
}

3) Second Child (Fails)

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<SITE_ID>/drive/root:/Folder1:/Folder2:/children

{
  "name": "Folder3",
  "folder": { },
  "@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior": "replace"
}

Any feedback how to properly create the Folder3 folder would be much appreciated.

Trying using below code. 
Where parentDriveId is root drive ID and driveId is the folder where we try to create folder. 
 
var driveItem = new DriveItem
                {
                    Name = driveName,
                    Folder = new Folder { },
                    AdditionalData = new Dictionary<string, object>()
                       {
                          { "@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior", "rename" }
                       }
                };

createdDriveId = (await graphclient.Drives[parentDriveId].Items[driveId].Children.Request().AddAsync(driveItem)).Id;

In the last example, the error occurs since invalid Url format is specified for accessing Folder2 in the provided endpoint:

    https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<SITE_ID>/drive/root:/Folder1:/Folder2:/children
                                                                |_________________|                                                          
                                                                       ^^^
                                                          invalid path syntax for accessing Folder2

To create folder under Folder2 sub folder, the Url format should be as follows: 

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<SITE_ID>/drive/root:/Folder1/Folder2:/children
